As Worlds 2023 draws near, Pick'Em returns! Here are the best picks.

League of Legends Worlds 2023 is less than a week away, and after being treated to the absolute banger of an Anthem, "GODS" by New Jeans, we can hardly contain our excitement to witness who will lift the cup this year!

Worlds 2022 cup

But before the ultimate showdown, we're in for a rollercoaster of matches, beginning with the climactic final clash of the Worlds Qualifying Series. It's a Best-of-5 battle between Europe's LEC representatives, BDS, and the formidable LCS squad, Golden Guardians, to determine the last contender in the League of Legends World Championship for 2023.

Mark your calendars for Monday, October 9th, it’s time to grab your flag and boost your team’s morale as this epic showdown unfolds, reigniting the classic rivalry between the European and North American regions.

Now, Tuesday is when the real fun begins, as the Play-In Group stage kicks off on October 10th. It's a day filled with electrifying matchups, featuring Movistar R7 squaring off against PSG Talon and the exciting showdown between Loud and GAM Esports.

October 11th serves up more thrilling action, with DetonatioN FocusMe taking on CTBC Flying Oyster and TEAM WHALES awaiting the winner of the BDS vs. Golden Guardians clash. The excitement continues to build throughout the week, culminating in the grand finals on Sunday, October 15th, where the teams advancing to the Swiss stage will be determined.

Then, it all culminates in the Swiss stage, a phase that operates with upper and lower brackets, gradually whittling down the contenders until only eight teams remain. These eight contenders will then march into the Knockouts Stage, where the stakes are sky-high, and it's a do-or-die situation!
